Brad Jost reveals an exclusive first look at Jurassic World Evolution 3 after Frontier granted early access.
The episode begins with host Brad Jost announcing the early access preview of Jurassic World Evolution 3 provided by Frontier. He introduces a preamble discussing recent developments, including the Steam page disclosure about AI-generated scientist avatars, noting it's a touchy subject in the game industry. Brad then transitions to the main conversation with Tom Jurassic, who prepared detailed notes. They share initial impressions, with Tom noting the game visually resembles Evolution 2 but has significant new features. Launch details are confirmed: release in October on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Epic, Steam, and Windows, priced at $49.99, with a deluxe edition and pre-order bonuses including Montana dig site scenery. The campaign returns Cabot Finch and Dr. Ian Malcolm, set after Jurassic World Dominion, focusing on global dinosaur integration across locations like Malta, Japan, and Hawaii. A major new feature is juvenile dinosaurs, with sexual dimorphism, nesting, and inheritance of traits affecting park appeal. Park management expands with maintenance teams on ATVs and security cameras linked to helicopters. Scenery and building tools are overhauled, allowing unrestricted placement and modular construction from prefabs or custom pieces. Terrain tools now include deep water for swimming dinosaurs and scalable rock walls. New attractions like a gentle giants encounter and balloon tour are mentioned. The community feature enables uploading and downloading park blueprints for shared visits. The hosts speculate on story elements and potential character cameos, ending with reflections on the game's direction and appreciation for the early access opportunity.
